This is to mount in the center of the steel rod below the laser tube, we do have one motor but we are unsure how good it is and the mount it not a standard NEMA23 mount.

I have donated one that is "equivalent". Whilst showing this to Søren he remarked that the design was gping back to mounting it direct at the end, where a dual shaft isn't needed. So; "make up your mind" :-) Msquare (talk) 19:41, 28 April 2013 (CEST)

Description

Laser tube mount

Tooms

Alu mount for the Laser tube and with level control

Couplings for y-axis motor

Increase the inner diameter of the metal couplings that we have, so that they fit on to the y-axis shafts and motor. It probably has to be someone who can use the lathe. The rod has a diameter of 10 mm, and the motor shaft is 6 mm.

End plates

"Make the door"

Make a transparent lid/door for the top of the laser cutter.

"Cooling for laser"

Install cooling system in cabinet, and connect pipes.
